Rerun, a Stockholm, Sweden-based company building a multimodal data stack for Physical AI, raised $17M in Seed funding.
The round was led by Point Nine, with participation from Sunflower Capital and existing investors Costanoa Ventures and Seedcamp. Angel investors including Guillermo Rauch (CEO of Vercel), Oliver Cameron (CEO of Odyssey), Wes McKinney (creator of pandas, Apache Arrow and Ibis), Eric Jang (VP of AI at 1X) and Nicolas Dessaigne (General Partner at Y Combinator) also participated.
The company intends to use the funds to double the size of its team by the end of the year, focusing on developing its commercial database offerings and making the open source project more integrated into the robotics and physical AI ecosystems.
Founded in 2022 by Nikolaus West, Emil Ernerfeldt, and Moritz Schiebold, Rerun is building a multimodal data stack for Physical AI. The company combines open-source visualization tools with a commercial database designed specifically for robotics, autonomous vehicles, spatial computing, and other Physical AI applications.
Rerun is launching a new database and cloud data platform purpose-built for Physical AI data and workflows. The database is designed to manage complex multimodal data such as video streams, 3D scenes, and tensors that evolve at varying rates over time. Combined with its open source visualization toolkit, new multimodal data stack supports everything from observability to experimentation and training. The new commercial offering is in development with select design partners and scheduled for general availability later in the year.
Rerun’s open source project–which made it simple to create high performance visualizations of Physical AI data– is used in open source projects by companies like Meta, Google, Hugging Face’s LeRobot, and Unitree.
The company has a distributed team across the US and Europe.
